Good point - I reckon winter would be a good time to have the winter break...
1500: And we're off around the country!
1458: Getting close to kick-off folks - not long to go now. We'll keep you informed of all the action throughout the afternoon (what there is of it). Can Hearts go level with Celtic in the SPL (yes - we know, they'll have played two more matches) or will Jim Jefferies' side reach a terminus in their recent run of good form?
1455: "Pipes obviously held out at Tynecastle. Interesting to see which of the two managers has steam coming out of their ears first." from bringthemonjpn on My Sport.
1451: The Falkirk chief executive George Craig is absolutely furious about his club's match being called off so late in the day - just an hour before kick-off - with fans already in the stadium and on their way to the ground. Partick Thistle manager Ian McCall feels the ref made the right decision, but seems reluctant to get involved in the politics.
1450: There's a big debate taking place on sportsound about all the talk over reconstruction of Scottish football - chief among the issues being discussed is the size of the leagues and a winter shutdown. The winter shutdown seems a no-brainer, but what do you - the fans - want in terms of league distribution? Ten teams in a league? 14? 16? 18? Let us know what you believe would work best for the good of everyone.
1446: Getting closer to kick-off time.
